He caught her speeding in a school zone and decided she needed to learn even civil disobedience could have very painful consequences.

Welcome to the first Sneak Peek Sunday of June. For Sneak Peek Sunday we share six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress).My submission for this week is from my 3rd book, Arrested by Love. A handsome, but strict, police officer decides a spoiled socialite needs a special lesson in obeying the law.

Tiffany Morgan has been in love with Kyle Sinclair since she was ten years old, when he'd turned her over his knee for attempting to swim in a raging white water river. Though she'd been furious with him at the time, Tiffany never told her family what Kyle did. Instead, she began trailing after him like an annoying younger sister as she tried to gain his attention.

Now, eleven years later, Kyle, a patrol officer, is finding it much more difficult to maintain his distance from the irresistible and vivacious redhead who continues to invent ingenious ways to attract his interest. Though he dismissed her initial attraction to him as infatuation, as she grew-up, his own feelings of desire and protectiveness deepened. So, despite his constant struggle to resist the spirited little minx's lures, Kyle finally has to admit that he is losing the battle--badly.

In this excerpt from Chapter One, Tiffany Morgan deliberately breaks the law in order to get Kyle Sinclair's attention. This isn't the first time she's gone out of her way to bait the police officer, so she is familiar with the routine. Unfortunately, she's just admitted she knew she was speeding, which he considers to be a rash, reckless and punishable offense. He is the process of writing her a ticket along with a recommendation she attend mandatory driver's training, when Tiffany propositions him. Though she is obviously playing the flirt, Kyle tells her she's overstepped her bounds, slaps on handcuffs, and escorts her to the back of his cruiser where he informs her she'll either have to submit to a spanking, or spend the night in jail for her recklessness. Tiffany is torn, but opts for the spanking. Kyle carries through with his promised punishment, but afterwards he is quick to offer reassurance by giving Tiffany the affection and comforting she needs within the confine of his arms.

Kyle was all too willing to give Tiffany anything and
everything she wanted at that point. He
kissed her deeply, surprising her a little when he pressed his tongue into her
mouth. However, she quickly responded
with equal fervor as he praised and complimented her between his kisses. She clung to him, pushing her small, though
delightfully firm, breasts against his chest, and Kyle wanted so much more,
despite his inner warnings against getting involved with a sexy, curvaceous
troublemaker.

She was a warm armful that he enjoyed kissing and holding
on his lap almost too much. Still, she'd
had a harrowing day, so he insisted upon driving her home. She'd agreed in a suspiciously meek manner,
which made him instantly wary. Tiffany
was anything but meek. He finally
understood the reason for her uncharacteristic subservience when she asked him
to please not tell her father.

Kyle had agreed, somewhat reluctantly, primarily because
he believed the older man would only be hurt to learn what had almost happened
to his baby girl, and also because he felt he had already seen to her
punishment himself--most effectively.
Seeing her to her door, he gave her a final kiss and warned her to take
care, since he'd be watching her carefully from then on. Then he'd left, vowing to put any wayward
thoughts he had about romancing the stubborn little minx out of his mind.

Despite his efforts to keep his distance, Tiffany would
occasionally end up standing in front of him for something stupid or reckless
she'd done. For some reason, he always
seemed to be the one who'd catch her at her foolishness. If he didn't know that she really hated it
when he punished or scolded her, he'd begin to suspect she was purposefully
doing things so he'd catch her.

Though he was finding it harder and harder to maintain
his distance, he always did his best to treat her like a very strict older
brother. Reckless stunts, anything that
put her life in danger, he dealt with swiftly and harshly, usually with her
ending up panties down over his knees for a firm paddling. However, he never spanked her really hard or
long, and would only use his hand.

She'd always cry a little and want to be comforted
afterwards, and yet, over the last few months or so, he was beginning to think
she wasn't taking his punishments very seriously. How could she, when he kept catching her
doing stupidly reckless things far more often, the older she got? And her stunts, though usually not critically
dangerous, were getting more and more serious.

Kyle should have realized then that he'd been fighting a lost cause, but Tiffany was used to an extravagant lifestyle and he was merely a cop, which made a relationship between them nearly impossible. So, even though he was determined to keep his distance from the lady, he wasn't above teaching her a lesson she wouldn't forget for a long time to come.

She needed his protection, except he insisted on her honest submission first.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop. My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health. This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.

My submission for this week is from my first BDSM novel, A Dom's Dilemma, published by Blushing Books.

In this scene, Jim, a former Texan who works as a police detective by day and lives and plays as a Dom by night, is in the Velvet Chains BDSM medical station attempting to give his new submissive, Kelly Franklin, an anal exam. When Kelly goes ballistic, Jim suspects fear, rather than brattiness, is responsible for her reaction. After giving her repeated opportunities to use her safeword, Jim is left with little choice. She is being disrespectful, defiant and acting like a brat, all of which screams punishment to a Dom. So, after giving her approximately thirty swats, with twenty for swearing, he attempts to calm his sobbing sub and find out what's really bothering her. When she refuses to say, he decides to continue with his original plan. However, when Kelly discovers he intends to give her an enema, her fear increases exponentially. After reassuring her the procedure is not meant as a punishment, he suggests she lie back and try to relax.

"I don't think I
can, Sir."

"Why not? Have you ever had an enema before?"

"Yes, Sir. It hurt and I hated it. Please don't make me do this, Sir. Please--"

"Kelly, do you
want to please me?"

"Yes, Sir,"
she whispered, her eyes welling with tears again.

"Now, don't
start. If you want to please me, you'll
do as I say. But if you give me anymore
flack, I'm gonna have to get really strict with you, and that's only gonna make
this procedure a whole lot more uncomfortable than it needs to be."

Someone had hurt this little filly, and Jim wants to know who and why, except Kelly doesn't trust him enough yet to confide in him. Jim knows what he's asking will be difficult for her, but if he can coax her over this hurdle, he believes they'll be able to work together despite her past issues.

For Sneak Peek Sunday authors share six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress).My excerpt for this week is from my 2nd book, Deadly Enchantment. A shapeshifting wizard romance set in Victorian England published by New Concepts Publishing,

In this snippet, which occurs near the end of the first Chapter, Dominic Westcroft has returned from London to discover his sister has invited several young women to his home, so he can select a new bride. Except, Dominic has no intention of ever marrying again. However, when he suspects one of their guests possesses magical abilities she's trying to keep hidden, he decides to have the ladies join him for dinner, so he can rout her out. Once his guests are all seated, their napkins and silverware begin to act up and the soup tureen walks around the table serving itself. Finally, things settle down enough that everyone is able to eat, though a few are almost too nervous to sample the soup. The lady on Westcroft's right, however, appears eager for his attention, so he decides to start with her by asking if she had any magical talents of her own she'd like to share.

Katherine
actually blushed. “None that could equal
yours, sir, though they do say I have an uncanny way of reading others’
thoughts.”

“Really?” His interest appeared to fade slightly as if
he knew the woman spoke falsely in the hopes of capturing his interest. He leaned back in his chair. “Can you tell me what I am thinking now, my
dear?” he inquired evenly.

Serena
didn’t find that too difficult. He
believed Katherine Shaw to be a liar and a flirt.

A
small furrow appeared on Katherine’s brow as she regarded him closely. “I would say that you are wondering what
other talents I might possess, sir,” she offered suggestively.

It
took all of Serena’s control to keep from choking on her soup at the woman’s
delusions of her allure.

When
Westcroft’s piercing gaze suddenly shifted to her, Serena quickly bent her head
and coughed delicately into her napkin to cover her slip.

Dominic Westcroft is determined to flush out their deceptive guest and expose her for the deceitful liar he takes her to be.

He caught her speeding in a school zone and decided she needed to learn even civil disobedience could have very painful consequences.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop. My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health. This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.

My submission for this week is from my first spanking novel, Arrested by Love, published by Blushing Books.

In this scene, near the beginning of the book, Kyle, a traffic patrol officer, has pulled over a young woman for speeding in a school zone. Tiffany has been in love with Kyle since she was ten, so this isn't the first time she's faced the strict police officer because of some prank she's pulled. It's not even the first time she's been caught speeding, which means she's spent a fair amount of time over his knees. Even so, Kyle is prepared to let her go with a warning and a ticket until she propositions him. Angry, partly because he's tempted to accept her bribe, Kyle decides to offer her a choice. She can either spend a night in jail, or place herself over his lap and receive a harsh spanking for her reckless driving. Though Tiffany agrees to Kyle's punishment, she's scared. He's never been so strict with her before and she fears this spanking will be unbearable. After he takes a moment to reassure her of his love, he decides it's time to get down to business.

He
lifted the blanket from her shoulders and set it aside. "Now, lower your undies and place
yourself in the proper position on my lap.
I'm not going to help you this time.
You need to do it yourself."

She
covered her face with her hands again.
"I can't," she whimpered.

"Yes,
you can." He turned her so she
faced him and adopted a stern expression.
"Underwear down. Now, young
lady. Unless you want me to start adding
swats again."

Kyle doesn't like the thought of hurting Tiffany, though he knows he has to if he's to make any progress in curbing her impulsive behavior.

I'm excited to have Thianna D returning to "A Writer's Naughty Thoughts" with information about her new releaseTook My Breath Awaythe much looked for sequel to As Natural As Breathing. Thianna appeared here back in August to discuss the first book. If you want to see that post first, please click As Natural As Breathing. And now I will place you into the talented hands of Thianna D.

Thanks Kathryn for hosting the Took My Breath Away Book Blog Tour
today!

It's Day 2 of the Took
My Breath Away Book Blog Tour and I'm excited to be over on Kathryn's A
Writer's Naughty Thoughts Blog. (Well, who wouldn't?) If you miss any days of
the book blog tour, you can find links to them here.

What genres do you write besides gay erotic romance?

Well, I write M/F erotic romance as well as both M/M and M/F
erotica. Also, under another name I write romance, young adult, and
fantasy/sci-fi. I have a lot of different genres I enjoy reading and what I
enjoy reading I also enjoy writing.

Except for plays. I enjoy reading plays, but writing them?
No. It's rather like slamming my head up against the wall.

How long did you write before you were published?

Well, *grins* I've been writing since I could write – I
still have one of the first stories I wrote when I was like five years old. So
a long, long time.

What are you currently reading?

I have a lot of books in my Kindle, but there are certain
books/stories that grip you so hard and whose characters become such a part of
you that you cannot stop reading them. Harry Potter stories were that way and
so is Falls Chance Ranch, a series of M/M domestic discipline stories that
revolve around a ranch. Gripping. Wonderful. I never want to stop reading it.

No matter what new books I download into my eReader, I
invariably turn to the men at Falls Chance, as they feel like home. If they
were in audio, I'd be listening to them too.

Do you have any advice for other writers?

Write what you love. I see, far too often, a huge influx of
people writing something because "Oh, Look! That book is selling, so I
will write one just like that." It's boring and copycat-esque. Instead,
dig deep within you for your own characters, your own storylines, and most
definitely your own titles. You will write better and your story will have more
impact.

If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your
latest book?

Oh, boy. Yes, where it ends. This was written as a trilogy.
The problem is, I am now in the midst of three and realize there will be a
fourth. If I had made this book about thirty thousand words longer and taken
them through the holiday season, this would not have been an issue.

Ah, well. Hindsight ;)

Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?

All the voices. I cannot tell you how many works-in-progress
I have because it would probably make the readers fall off their chairs. It is
difficult to write when several storylines want my attention at the same time.
Sometimes it gets so frustrating I can't write anything. I hate those times.

Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?

I'm not much of a 'message' kind of girl. But if anything, I
would want readers to recognize that romance is romance, whether it be M/F or
M/M. It is about two people making things work.

What were the challenges you faced in bringing your latest book to
life?

I think the hardest part was wondering how the readers would
react to one part of it. It is 'reality' and yet in romance books, reality most
of the time does not exist. In most DD novels, we have the alpha male who is
the spanker and is also in the charge of discipline as well.

Since I came to this through a BDSM background, and the fact
that Logan and Christian led the way, this is the exact opposite. It shows that
just because someone is the 'top' in the sexual relationship, that does not
mean they are the dominant in the discipline sense.

If you could have any super power, what would it be?

It isn't a superpower, per se, but I would love to be able
to transport from here to there without the need for cars, trains, planes,
space ships…etc.

Beam me up, Scotty ;)

What book do you wish you’d written?

While I am not a fan of the 50 Shades trilogy, I wish I had
written it. Why? For the sheer reality of how well it sells and how many people
it has touched. What author would not want to be in that spot? Her trilogy has
changed the way the world sees erotica.

Just for that simple fact, that trilogy will go down as one
of the most important in our century. Especially to those who love to write and
read erotic literature.

What are your current projects?

How much time do you have? *grins* Well, too many to
mention, but the main ones I am working on right now are:

a novella for the Corbin's Bend
spanking romance series (more info on that coming Jan 2nd).

2nd novel in The Shift
series.

3rd novel in All They
Ever Needed series.

3rd novel in my
non-erotic Dating Service series.

Taking my 170K YA Dystopian story
and separating and expanding it into three novels.

Can you share a little of your current work with us?

Would love to! In this snippet, Logan has just gotten home
from college and Christian, who helped him bring all of his stuff back, is
heading out.

Christian had a few
things he needed to do for work, plus his mother was expecting him for dinner,
so they unpacked the truck, taking all the boxes down to the basement before he
left. “See you tomorrow?” he asked after kissing Logan goodbye.

“Yep. Just let me know when and I will be ready.”

Christian grinned. “I’m taking you out to dinner. Be ready at six.”

Surprised, Logan
watched him drive away. He had just been asked out on a date. Usually it was he
who did the asking. A wonderful feeling bloomed in his stomach, the kind he
associated with being loved and taken care of. Beaming, he went back inside.

Book Description:

Took My Breath AwaySequel toAs Natural As Breathing

Length: Novel

Genre: Gay Spanking Romance

Series: All They
Ever Needed

Sometimes taking
control is what you need to do and sometimes the best thing you can do is give
that control up.

In the summer between Logan's junior and senior years of
college, these two will find out more about each other and themselves than they
imagined.

While unhappy to be missing four weeks of Christian's
company, Logan is thrilled to spend a month with his father's relatives in New
York. A naturally gregarious individual,
he is used to winning people over and getting things right. Unfortunately, the
Mannettes are not what he expects and for the first time in his life, he finds
himself seriously doubting who he is.

Christian has regained some of his old self-esteem and is
taking on new challenges. Besides growing in the relationship he has with
Logan, he takes the time his boyfriend is away to learn more about domestic
discipline. He learns a little online but it is actually Gregory, Logan's father,
where he gains most of his information. Including the fact that his natural
strength puts him in a leadership position he isn't expecting.

When Logan returns to a strong, self-assured Christian, it
is with complete relief. As discussions turn to domestic discipline and they
realize their true roles within their current and future relationship, both of
them are able to let their inhibitions go and together their connection grows
surprising Logan to an epiphany.

Thianna D

For Thianna D, reading and writing are as important as
breathing and far more important than math or science. A storyteller from the
time she could speak, she was always making up characters as a kid. As a
teenager that turned to sci-fi and fantasy, as an adult to romance. It wasn’t
until her fourth decade that she began writing erotic scenes within her
stories.

Writing M/M came naturally to her; she wrote her first tale
before ever having read one. “There is something about the amazing dynamic
between two strong men falling in love and defeating anything thrown at them.”
While she had written several BDSM stories involving men, As Natural As Breathing was the first full-length novel involving
domestic discipline. In Took My Breath
Away, its sequel, Logan and Christian further their relationship in very
defining ways.

Welcome back to Horny Hump Day, a regular Wednesday feature! In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with tiny erotic tidbits of the most sexy and sensuous moments in our books. Just 3 sentences. And boy is that hard to do, sometimes....My post for this Wednesday is from my 4th book, A Dom's Dilemma, an erotic BDSM/spanking novel published by Blushing Books. Kelly and Jim, the two main characters, were secondary characters in Arrested by Love. Though this story stands on its own, if you read Arrested by Love, you'll most likely recognize some of the scenes, since we see a little bit of Kyle and Tiffany in this book, too.

For this selection on Horny Hump Day, I'm continuing the scene in A Dom's Dilemma where Jim is making love to Kelly for the first time. Though a little nervous, Kelly has been wanting Jim for a few days, and is eager to have him. However, when Jim unzips his jeans, Kelly begins to grow uncertain. Jim instantly recognizes the wariness in her expression, and even teases her a bit while he carefully gauges the changes in her expression. While he works with her to ease her uncertainty, he comes to a few conclusions of his own and let's her know, in no uncertain terms, that she belongs to him.

Withdrawing slightly, he nibbled on
her lower lip and gave a thrust and found himself seated all the way inside
her.

Relishing her tight, warm grip, he began with slow, even, but deep thrusts.
"I don't think this is gonna take long at all, darlin', so you may
come when ready."

Jim is into control, not pain, and he wants Kelly to find pleasure in sex, but the Dom in him refuses to let her take the lead. Things happen his way, and on his terms. End of story. All the same, sometimes a sub needs her Dom to verbally reassure her that she is both desired and desirable.

Now available on Amazon both for the Kindle and in Paperback!I hope you enjoyed this sneak preview. Your comments are encouraged. Please stop by the Horny Hump Day blog site to get a peek at some of the other author's fine offerings.

Sneak Peek Sunday is a weekly excerpt hop where each author shares six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress).My submission for this week is from my 1st book, Mortal Illusions. A vampire romance published by New Concepts Publishing, Mortal Illusions is currently the first in a series of 3 books. Its sequel, Fatal Desire, is currently under production.

In this excerpt, which is the beginning of the first chapter, Germaine St. Justine has sensed his former lover's pain and visits her in the hospital in an effort to ease her suffering. After some gentle teasing combined with a soothing back rub, he gently bites her neck and draws out a few seconds worth of blood, then uses a hypodermic needle to withdraw blood from his arm. When she learns his concoction will only give her an additional eighteen to twenty-four hours, she asks if he didn't have anything that lasted a little longer, like twenty years.

"If I did, you would have received it ten years ago,
when you were first diagnosed," he assured her, turning his attention to
the painless removal of the two small marks he'd left on her throat. "I thought my visit then had cured you,
but it seems even the immortal are fallible."

She turned away, but he put his hand under her chin,
turning her toward him. "You
insisted we be honest with each other, Marguerite," he reminded, gently
squeezing her chin before he reached up to remove the oxygen line she no longer
needed. Adjusting the control until the
soft hissing finally ceased, he asked.
"Why didn't you call me? Why
did you wait for me to come to you on my own?"

A thoughtful smile curved her lips as she entwined her
fingers with his. "I remembered how
much you detested hospitals," she admitted, gazing at him. "I knew you'd come for me tonight. Only I'd hoped it would be to take me with
you." Her smile faltering, she
quietly drew her hand back.

Marguerite's disappointment filled Germaine with an
aching remorse. He knew what his refusal
cost her, but nothing could make him change his mind. Not about this.

Longing to ease her, he lifted a hand to her hair, but
she jerked away from his touch.

She needed his protection, except he insisted on her honest submission first.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop. My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health. This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.

My submission for this week is from my first BDSM novel, A Dom's Dilemma, published by Blushing Books.

In this scene, Jim, a former Texan who by day works as a police detective and by night lives and plays as a Dom, is in the Velvet Chains BDSM medical station attempting to give his new submissive, Kelly Franklin, an anal exam. When Kelly goes ballistic, Jim suspects fear, rather than brattiness, is responsible for her reaction. After giving her repeated opportunities to use her safeword, Jim is left with little choice. She is being disrespectful, defiant and acting like a brat, all of which screams punishment to a Dom. So, after giving her approximately thirty swats, with twenty for swearing, he attempts to calm his sobbing sub and find out what's really bothering her. But she refuses to say, so he decides to give her more time to trust him. However, when he tells her he intends to give her an enema, she begs him not to punish her in that way.

Jim regarded her
carefully. "Who said anythin' about
punishin' you?"

"You aren't doing
that to teach me a lesson?"

"No, girl. Though it is an exercise in obedience, I’ll
grant you, but I don't punish with medical procedures. That ain't right."

"But if I promise
to obey from now on, you won't need to do that to me, right?"

He held her face
between his two hands. "Kelly, I
expect you to obey no matter what I do.
And cleanin' your bowels out tonight has nothin' to do with how you
behave in the future."

"But--"

"No," he
said, cutting her off. "I have my
reasons for wantin' to do this, all you have to do is lie down, relax, and
allow me to do what I want. That's
it."

Someone had hurt this little filly, and he wants to know who and why, except he doubts in her current state Kelly will be willing to confide in him. So, he decides to downplay her overreaction by employing a little reverse psychology.

Take one dominant police officer, add in a slightly spoiled socialite, toss together and savor the tangy result.This material is Not Safe For Work. If you’re not over 18, please explore elsewhere.

Happy Horny Hump Day! If you've visited before, you already know this is a regular Wednesday feature on A Writer's Naughty Thoughts. In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with tiny erotic tidbits of the most sexy and sensuous moments in our books. Just 3 sentences. And boy is that hard to do, sometimes....My post for this Wednesday is from my 3rd book, Arrested by Love. A spicy spanking romance published by Blushing Books.

In this scene, Kyle takes his recently engaged fiancee, Tiffany, on a secluded picnic where he plans to give the woman he adores everything she'd been attempting to seduce out of him for the past three years. Her inexperience is a great turn on for him, but it also means he needs to take things far more slowly than his body desires. But he wants her first time to be a pleasurable memory, not a painful one, so he does what he can to make sure she's fully aroused before he takes her. However, Tiffany is less than sure once she gets a glimpse of him unclothed.

"Kyle…,"
she murmured uneasily.

"Yes,
darling?" he replied, getting back down on his knees between her legs,
surprised when she scooted back from him.

"Um…. I didn't know. I mean I never realized…. I imagined you were big, but…. Oh, God.
You'll never fit inside me without tearing something. I know it."

An innocent in every sense of the word, Tiffany has wanted Kyle to make love to her for years. In this case, however, size does matter and larger isn't necessarily better.

Peter loved Kate with all his being, but that didn't mean he'd tolerate an ultimatum from her.

For Sneak Peek Sunday we share six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress).My submission for this week is from my 5th book, and newest release, Acting Lessons.He was a strict and demanding college professor turned professional director who excelled at giving acting lessons. She was his shy and uncertain former student who became a professional actress under his tutelage. They fell in love, married, and won two Tony Awards before tragedy struck and a simple kiss ripped them apart.

After a six month separation, Peter Thorton decides to take matters into his own hands by making his famous wife, Kate, an offer she wouldn't refuse. Plainly put, he wants her back and he intends to do whatever is necessary to achieve his goal, even if it means giving his stubborn, willful leading lady a daily reminder over his knee that she promised to obey him.

In this scene, which occurs early in the first chapter, Peter Thorton, seated comfortably in an agent's office, is attempting to convince his wife, Kate, to give their marriage a second chance by signing her to appear with him in a College Summer Stock production of "Kiss Me Kate." Kate isn't sure she can trust Peter with her heart again, since she believes he's been unfaithful to her, but she's never stopped loving him. And though Domestic Discipline originally played a part in their marriage, their last two years together had them living like polite strangers sharing the same house. Peter realizes he made a mistake in letting Kate do as she pleased, so he's determined to rectify matters immediately, however, Kate is suspicious and decides to test him by making a few stipulations of her own.

"If I agree to this, I would
need you to agree to certain stipulations as well."

"And they would be?"

"One: I get my own room."

"Not a problem," he
conceded with a nod for Don to add her request.
"What else?"

"Two: I may want to invite a
guest to stay with me for a time. If I
choose to do so, I will need at least two beds."

His eyebrow arched slightly, but he
gave another nod. "Easily seen
to. What else?"

Hmm. Kate's not quite ready to trust her former husband again, but he can be very convincing when he chooses to be. Still, she doubted he'd agree to all her conditions.

Show me an angry vampire, and I'll show you an unhappy mortal.NOTE: Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop. My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health. This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.

My submission for this week is from my 1st book, Mortal Illusions. A vampire romance published by New Concepts Publishing, Mortal Illusions is currently the first in a series of 3 books. Its sequel, Fatal Desire, is currently under production.When Claire Daniels discovers Germaine St. Justine is a vampire, she sets a plan in motion to convince him to cure her brother of AIDS. Though an innocent in sexual relations, Claire is savvy enough to realize the best way to secure Germaine's support is to enter into an intimate relationship with him. However, having a vampire take you to bed isn't quite the same as sleeping with the boy next door. There are complications. And Germaine is dominant enough to add a few more Claire hadn't expected.

In this segment, Claire has sought Germaine out at his private night club for the first time, only to discover his club offers much more than drinks for those with and without fangs. The day room at Illusions is equipped to administer punishments as well. While Claire is trying to reconcile with Germaine, one of his vampires enters the club with his mate in tow and demands permission to publicly chastise her. What no one expects, however, is for Germaine not only to agree, but call for a supporting vote from his council. When the group unanimously agrees to the punishment, Claire doesn't think, she reacts by picking up a stool and striking the punishing vampire. Phillip, who is unfazed by Claire's attack, demands she be punished for interfering with his council-sanctioned punishment.

When Germaine agrees Phillip's grievance is valid, he informs the room that he will carry out Claire's punishment himself. Amazingly, the council protests, forcing Germaine into an open challenge with Phillip. A sword duel to first blood. Phillipa and Claire are seated on the sidelines to watch when Phillipa admits to having felt the end of the feather whip at least 40 times. Horrified by the implications in Phillipa's admission, Claire remarks, “Your
husband has ordered you whipped more than forty times, and Germaine permitted
it?”

Phillipa's deep violet eyes widened
with surprise. “Phillip would never order me whipped.
He's much too softhearted to ever do that. Oh, he's applied that feather cat o'nine
tails to my backside whenever the council demanded it, but never very hard--and never
as hard as the others.”

Phillipa made a rueful face.
“Germaine St. Justine can hold a grudge through eternity.
Though he's never done it, himself, I think he would've enjoyed taking a whip
to me
tonight. He's partial to lessons, as you've probably gathered, but he has an
unusual code
of honor. He'll never lay a hand on a woman without gaining her permission
first, but
once he's got it, all bets are off.”

Claire is discovering these vampires live by different rules than those governing the mortal world, and she's growing concerned that she may have made a terrible mistake.

Corbin's Bend Revamp

Corbin's Bend isn't dead, it's simply being revised and issued in a simpler format. The individual books from previous seasons will no longer be available for sale by themselves, but all will be made available in collections. In addition, Blushing Books intends to open up the series for more books. I will advise as soon as I know anything more.
